Evil Genius Posted October 2, 2005 It´s hard to ID because it´s a seedling. I only have one Pilosocereus seedling but it looks different than yours. I´d say it´s a Trichocereus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, sorry everyone, I should have specified that the tag that was with it specified the genus (Trichocereus), but not the species... what kind of Trichocereus does it resemble?

faslimy Posted October 3, 2005 it would be hard to guess the parents even after a couple of years, i think your out of luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strangebrew Posted October 3, 2005 The multiple centrals & swollen bases it displays would narrow the field down though wouldn't they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chilli Posted October 3, 2005 Hi everyone... I was wondering if those in the know could lend their expert opinion to identifying this little cutie I spotted in the supermarket the other day? Thanks... any info is greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medicinedan Posted October 3, 2005 looks like a pilosocereus to me. I'm no expert though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chilli Posted October 5, 2005 Someone sent me a PM saying this was T.Perivianus... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M S Smith Posted October 5, 2005 Looks damn near like every other Trichocereus seedling I've ever grown. But since T. peruvianus KK242 (T. cuzcoensis?) seems to have a regular place on the market, especially in bulk cactus nurseries, it seems likely to be that. But really only time will tell...maybe. Here's some seedlings. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Posted October 5, 2005 It looks like a seedling of MesaGardens T pachanoi seed. I would suggest it is T. peruvianus, and a macogonus type form at that. Such seed is available in bulk and fairly common. Lots of stuff gets called KK242, I think it is an empty blanket term getting applied far too often to rather diverse material that has a similar phenotype.
